Determining the treatment of hyperacusis

  When children appear to squeeze their eyebrows and wink and clear their throat, they are often mistaken by parents as “making a face” “bad problem”, and the symptoms will be aggravated after the child is reprimanded or even scolded by parents. Is it a “bad problem” or something else? Here to remind parents that your child may be “hyperactive tic disorder”.  What is polydipsia?  ADHD is a chronic complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor tics and/or vocal tics.  Motor tics mainly manifest as brief, rapid, sudden, and varying degrees of involuntary movements, starting with frequent blinking, which is often misdiagnosed as conjunctivitis, in addition to frequent eyebrow squeezing, frowning, nose sucking, mouth pouting, mouth opening, tongue stretching, head nodding, head shaking, head tossing, head tilting, etc. As the disease progresses, the symptoms of tics gradually diversify, alternating with shrugging shoulders, twisting neck, kicking legs, shaking legs, twisting waist, tummy, etc.  Vocal tics often have various kinds, with explosive and repeated vocalizations, starting with throat clearing and dry cough, often misdiagnosed as “chronic pharyngitis, chronic cough, asthma”, which do not improve after corresponding treatment and gradually worsen, with abnormal sounds such as whistling and yelling, individual syllables, unclear words, improper stress, intermittent “stuttering” or constant mouthing of obscenities.  Sensory twitching is called sensory twitching when the motor or vocal twitching is preceded by self-reported localized body discomfort. Such as a feeling of pressure, itching, heat, cold, etc. or a feeling of impulsiveness or anxiety. Motor twitching occurs to relieve discomfort in the affected somatic area, and vocal twitching occurs to relieve discomfort in the throat. Sensory tics can be seen as a precursor to motor or vocal tics.  In addition, children with Tourette’s syndrome often have difficulty concentrating in class and learning. In addition, some children with Tourette’s syndrome have obsessive-compulsive disorders, mood disorders, sleep disorders, and in some cases, self-injurious behavior, molestation, and conduct disorders.  The above co-occurring disorders not only affect the child’s learning, but also the child’s social adjustment and the development of personality and psychological qualities. Therefore, children with Tourette’s syndrome need the joint attention and care of society, doctors, schools, and parents for early detection and early treatment, so that children can grow up healthy and happy.  How can we tell if a child’s movements are not “bad”, but rather multiple tics?  The strange movements and vocalizations of children with Tourette’s syndrome often appear during the day, and the symptoms are more obvious when they are tense, anxious or excited, and disappear for a short time when they are distracted or self-controlled. The symptoms of tic disorder are fluctuating, progressive, and chronic in course, and parents must be good at observing this aspect. When a child is found to have problems in this area, he or she should be seen in a pediatric tic disorder specialist clinic in a timely manner to avoid misdiagnosis, which can lead to the development of the condition. For the child’s physical and mental health and psychological health caused significant impact, so as not to cause serious consequences.  What are the best treatment methods for multiple tics?  At present, the commonly used treatment methods are mainly medication and psychological intervention. The most common treatment in Western medicine is haloperidol, Tebri, thiopirid, aripiprazole, etc. Although it has certain efficacy, but the side effects are obvious, and it is easy to relapse during and after stopping the medication. Chinese medicine not only can control the symptoms of tics, but also can gradually eliminate the “root of the disease” and reduce recurrence by regulating the child’s constitution. A large number of clinical reports and literature show that Chinese medicine has the advantages of exact efficacy, few toxic side effects and low recurrence rate in the treatment of hyperactivity, which is becoming more and more popular among parents.
